Twitter, Facebook & Google Sued For ‚Material Support For Terrorism‘ Over Paris Attacks

The lawsuit contains several quotes from pundits, terrorism experts, and government officials about ISIS‘s successful use of social media platforms. What it doesn‘t contain, however, is anyone offering support for the lawsuit‘s position: that social media platforms should be held directly responsible for terrorist attacks. But that‘s the sole purpose of this lawsuit: to make the platforms pay for a death they had nothing to do with.
